Marco Zappacosta's only professional job has been the cofounder and CEO of Thumbtack. Marco started the home services matchmaking website straight out of university with a dream to find a better solution of hiring a plumber. Since 2009, Thumbtack has raised half a billion dollars in funding and gone from 2 to 1,000 employees. But Thumbtack's success came from years of struggle to discover their perfect market fit.

Listen to Nathan and Marco discuss:

Thumbtack's first users on both sides of the marketplace
Enticing pros by creating stylized Craiglist ads
The importance of telling the dream and data to investors
Why investors are thinking about other investors
Why getting a meeting is the easy part of fundraising
The difference between bootstrapped and VC businesses
Seeing values as the best version of your company
Creating "libraries" for their fully-remote workplace
And much more VC and remote work advice…
